12 Heart-Melting Before And After Images Of Rescued Dogs

A dog needs a home.

From BuzzFeed Video comes this tearjerker showing the striking transformations of 12 dogs who were rescued after being abandoned. They were all in fairly wretched condition before kind souls nursed them back to health.

It's a beautiful illustration of what a loving home can mean to a stray animal. The video also reminds us that each year roughly 3.9 million dogs are placed in shelters, of which only 1.4 million are eventually adopted.
